" If you are looking for a free solution, consider Hotspot Shield from Anchor Free. This service routes your network traffic through its servers, encrypting it all the way. But keep in mind that "free" software solutions are rarely truly "free." Anchor Free makes its money by delivering advertisements to the users of their service.

What I like about Hotspot Shield is that it is truly easy to use. If you are not tech savvy and are looking for a solution that is easy to deploy and doesn't take money directly from you, then it is the way to go.

If you are a VPN purist or you just don't want to support something that is advertising-driven, you should look at services like Anonymizer or PublicVPN.com. Anonymizer is easy to implement but rather expensive, while PublicVPN.com has more reasonable rates but is harder to get going for the less technically proficient. "

" Bernie.... here is another email client, which is nearly identical to
Outlook Express which your daughter can use on her new Win7 machine.....
haven't used it as I use other clients and webmail, but all the folks who
have used that I have read from on other forums really love it.... "
there is a free version

" Grub4DosConfig is the Gru4Dos boot loader with GUI installer.
The name 'Grub4Dos' can be confusing but it is actually
'Grub NOT ONLY for Dos'.

Grub4dos supports many file system:
NTFS, VFAT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4.
Does not support ReiserFS.
Grub4dos is upper compatible with (legacy) grub, can do all the legacy grub can do.

Remarkable is NTFS support.
Easy to install on Windows pre-installed PC's because linux partitions
are not essential,
Boots up Puppy(frugal and full) and other Linux and Windows.
It is used in Puppy 4.3.1 Japanese edition,
Toutou Linux, Quirky, Wary and in recent woof.
works on puppy 4.x/5.x and its derivatives. "

But how do you edit the menu list in Windows.
Not easily done in with MS .

Of course I can do it in Puppy without problems.

Hirens also uses >> Metapad. ...Which works fine.

" Metapad >> is a small, fast and completely free text editor for
Windows (95/98/NT/XP/Vista/7) with similar features to
Microsoft Notepad but with many extra (and rather useful) features.
It was designed to completely replace Notepad since it includes all
of Notepad's features and much, much more. "

"And finally, when you go back to burn the CD, there are some important details. I use ImgBurn to create and burn this ISO, and so can you.

The short of it is, it uses the ISO9660 filesystem with fully relaxed restrictions, as well as UDF.

The "grldr" file in the root of the disc is also used as the boot image
(it loads 4 sectors, then goes on to find the rest of the file, and boots).
So select grldr as your Custom (no emulation) boot image,
4 sectors, and burn away.

You must keep in mind that boot filenames (e.g. grldr, BOOT\bootmgr,
F4UBCD\Images\konboot.gz) are ALL CASE SENSITIVE.

If the case sensitivity is not preserved (e.g. using a burning app that uppercases the ISO9660 filesystem, or changing the case on a folder), you'll be in for a world of keyboardmashing.

That's why I recommend using ImgBurn, even though the author got a little irresponsible with selling-out to Ask.com and promoting Uniblue malware. "

This was an interesting post with a fix by tempestuous.
I linked to his Puppy Pets for Raid as well.

And on page 2 >> a happy customer.

" It worked!!! I had it typed in wrong. Anyway they mounted.
I found the files, I can see the files and I'm copying them to my
external hard drive.

I am so excited!!!
I am so grateful to all your help. I really didn't think this was going to work. Other forums kept saying if you have a Raid 0 drive your data
is probably lost without a lot of money to data recovery companies.
Local computer repair shops couldn't help.
I am still in shock that it actually worked!

I've gotten the kids pictures back and many many hours of work back.
I can't thank you enough!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! "

RAID arrays in (Puppy) Linux
" Thanks to some good testing by forum member CindyJ,
the dmraid dotpet earlier in this thread is confirmed to work with
bios-RAID devices, and I have just upgraded the dmraid dotpet,
and also updated the instructions. "

" My post will surely be followed by several fdisk /mbr screwed my disk” comments.

My questions in response are
“what else did you do before trying fdisk /mbr?”
(i.e., what else was screwed up or what else did you
screw up) and “did you read the warnings about using fdisk /mbr?”
(i.e., for safety, only have one drive connected when you run fdisk /mbr).

OK...
Used Dillo to download the torrent file.
The business was a little odd, but I got it done.

Then installed Transmission using the Lupu-520 PPM.
That was easy.

Then ran Transmission to "Add" the torrent, and that is now downloading the file.
It originally looked like it was going to take hours to complete, but it now reports 8min reamaining, so that's not so bad.

I have a fast [10Gb/s] cable broadband connection, so usually there's no need to resort to using torrent downloads.

Download 50% complete, and 6min remaining.

Download now complete.
md5sum checks OK.
Closed Transmission.

Using burniso2cd [REALLY EASY] to burn the ISO image to a CD-RW.
Burn now complete.
